hi guys this is bryan bennett at cnet com and we're at CES 2013 and we are going to look at the Sony Xperia ZL now this phone is the global variant of the device as you can tell it is a pretty high-end it's not as high end as the also recently announced Sony Xperia Z but it has the same basic specs you've got a big 5 inch HD resolution display it also has the same quad-core Snapdragon s4 pro processor that's 1.5 gigahertz also has 16 gigabytes of internal storage and this very large 5-inch HD LCD screen and as far as cameras concerns the same as well it has a 13 megapixel sensor with a LED flash as well as a backside illuminated feature that allows you to do HDR shooting modes in both stills and video also it has very thin look to it as well as you know very a flush design for the screen that runs edge to edge one thing that sets this device apart from the Xperia Z is that on back it does not have the glass coating on the back that's a little bit more premium what it has is a plastic textured design though it also has a embedded battery now the software on the Xperia ZL just like the Xperia Z is Android for dot one jellybean so you get a very modern user interface as well as Android features so at the moment sony has not released pricing or availability for the Xperia ZL but it should hopefully be shipping sometime in the spring of this year I'm Brian Bennett this has been a first look at the Xperia ZL
